It is still very cold in North China in March, and dryness is the biggest feature of winter in North China. Although spring has begun, the scene of the recovery of all things has not yet been seen. Because it is located at the junction of the Liao and Song dynasties, it has been baptized by war all year round, and there is a depression outside this Flying Fox City.

The Middle Route Army of the Great Song Northern Expedition was about to begin the first goal on their Northern Expedition, which was to capture Flying Fox City.

When the Middle Route Army arrived at Feihu, Cao Bin's troops on the East Road had already captured Gu'ancheng, and Pan Meiyang's troops on the West Road would also arrive in Huanzhou.

……

"It's about to be at war with the Khitan, do you think there's anything wrong with us this time?" Li Jiguang sighed at his cold hands, and then rubbed them.

"I guess there's nothing wrong with us, Tian Chongjin made it clear that he doesn't trust us." Chen Ran on the side took a sip of water, and then shivered from the cold water.

Zhao Xin, who was sitting on the side, pulled out the charcoal basin, and then glanced at Zhao Weiji. At this time, Zhao Weiji was carefully observing the entire form of the war on the map.

The route of the march of the Three Route Army is exactly the same as written in the history books. Cao Bin has conquered Gu Ancheng, Tian Chongjin is about to launch an attack on the Flying Fox, and Pan Mei is about to arrive in Huanzhou. There is also a way to assist Cao Bin Mi Xin will also arrive in the new city.

Whenever he saw that the development of the situation was recorded like a history book, Zhao Weiji couldn't help but shake his head. Looking at this history, it is not so easy to change.

Just when Zhao Weiji sighed, a small soldier came in outside.

"Report to the general, General Tian's department has begun to make contact with the Khitan army."

It turned out that Tian Chongjin had already led his troops to march towards the Flying Fox, while Zhao Weiji's Zhenzhou army was left behind. In the name of it, the base camp is very important to the army, and it is not safe for him to hand over the re-entry of Tian to others, only Zhao Weiji and his Zhenzhou army can take on this important task. In fact, you just stay honest, and you don't have your share in military merit.

"Okay, I got it." After hearing the report, Zhao Weiji waved his hand to let the herald leave, while he looked at the map.

……

Tian Shigejin on this side has already started the battle.

Due to the Song army's full preparation, new weapons, and the Liao army's "appeasement" policy. Sure enough, after the first contact engagement, the Song army was victorious.

However, the victorious Song army did not advance easily, and at this time in the early stage of the war, the Song army was still a little afraid of the Khitan iron cavalry.

After winning the first battle, Tian Chongjin gathered his staff and began to discuss the next move.

"I think it's easy to set up an ambush in the south of the Flying Fox, why don't we ambush here, and then send a small force to lure out the Flying Fox defenders, and then annihilate them here?" The person who put forward the opinion was Yuan Jizhong, the number one general under Tian Chongjin

The other staff members all thought that this plan was feasible and nodded their heads.

"That's it, you, Yuan Jizhong, led the troops to set up an ambush at the south entrance of the Flying Fox. I personally led my troops to meet the enemy on the frontal battlefield. Jing Si, you lead 500 cavalry to attack the Flying Fox and lure out the defenders in the city. Tan Tingmei led 2,000 men and horses to meet Jing Hei in Pingchuan. ”

Once the deployment was complete, the operation began.

On the other side, the guards in Flying Fox City, Dapeng Yi and He Wantong, Ma Yun and others also felt puzzled about Song Jun's victory and not chasing?

Originally, the plan was that they would be defeated first, and then the Song army would chase them, and if the pursuing Song army attacked the city, they would resist like that, and then evacuate.

But Song Jun didn't chase after him at this time, so the three of them began to discuss.

"It seems that the Song army is nothing to fear, although their new weapons seem to be full of power, but I think the Song army is still afraid of our Daliao Iron Cavalry." Dapeng Yi was the first to speak.

"I think so. What lure the enemy deep, if the Song army comes to call for battle again, I will definitely lead the troops out and directly annihilate them under Flying Fox City. It's so troublesome to save money and cheat. He Wantong took over the conversation.

"But luring the enemy deep is a strategy set by the Queen Mother, will it be inappropriate for us to do so?" Ma Yun on the side said with some concern.

"I don't think there's anything wrong with that. When the Queen Mother made the plan, she took into account the strength of the Song army, but now the Song army is not as strong as imagined, so we can naturally act at the opportunity. Besides, as long as she can win, I don't think the Queen Mother will have any dissatisfaction. Dapeng couldn't help but be a little disdainful when he saw Ma Yun.

"But ......"

"There is nothing but, I also agree with General Dapeng's words, we should act at the opportunity."

"Okay, then don't talk about anything else, if the Song army dares to call for a battle again, they will definitely be annihilated." Dapeng Yi immediately made the final decision.

When Jing Si came to call the battle the next day, Dapeng Yi really couldn't help it.

"Just bring 500 people and dare to call for battle, I look down on my Khitan iron horse too much." So Dapeng Yi and He Wantong led 20,000 cavalry to rush out of the city and attack Jing Si.

Jing Si saw that the generals in the city really chased after him with a large army, and retreated decisively without saying a word.

As soon as he saw Jing Si retreating, Dapeng Yi was even more sure that the Song army was afraid of the Liao Iron Cavalry, so he did not suspect deception and pursued directly.

Soon, Jing Si led the Liao cavalry to the designated cliff, and then began to maneuver with the Liao army with a strong bow and crossbow.

Because of the amazing power of the Song army's new bow and crossbow, the Liao army failed to make several attacks. Just when He Wantong finally reacted to the possibility of fraud, Tan Tingmei, who came to respond, Yuan Jizhong, who had been in ambush for a long time, and Tian Chongjin's army appeared around the Liao army and besieged the Liao army layer by layer.

The Liao army, which had no way to retreat, was either forced off the cliff or directly killed by the Song army. The few remaining soldiers surrendered. The main generals Dapeng Yi and He Wantong were also captured.

The Song army took advantage of the situation to advance north, and the army approached the city of Flying Fox. The group surrounded Flying Fox City.

……

"Our army has won a big victory, and it has surrounded Flying Fox City." When a new battle report came, the herald reported to Zhao Weiji in the rear battalion as soon as possible.

"Hmm." Zhao Weiji, who heard the good news, was not surprised, because he already knew the result. "It seems that in less than seven days, the defenders of Flying Fox City will abandon the city and surrender."

"Why didn't my grandfather react when he heard about our army's victory?" Seeing Zhao Weiji treating this matter so indifferently, Li Jiguang couldn't help but be a little puzzled.

"I knew that our army would be victorious, and there was nothing to be surprised about." Zhao Weiji explained to Li Jiguang.

And Li Jiguang did not have a trace of doubt, because from Zhao Weiji's consistent performance, it is not strange to do such a god-like thing.

……

Just when Tian Chongjin surrounded the flying foxes, Pan Meiyang's industry department on the west road also won the victory.

Pan Mei led his army out of Xicheng to attack Huanzhou, which soon facilitated the engagement of the vanguard of the Liao army. As in the case of Tian Chongjin's troops, Pan Mei's army easily won its first victory with the help of crossbows and the release of water from the Liao army.

After winning the first victory, Pan Mei's army continued to advance towards Huanzhou.

Since the Liao general Yelu Xianzhen and the planner of this battle, Yelu Mo, were both on the west road, the Huanzhou defender was very thorough in the implementation of the plan.

Pan Mei's army surrounded Huanzhou, and Zhao Yanxin, the assassin of Huanzhou, led the crowd to surrender. Because Zhao Yanxin is Han, Pan Mei did not doubt him and successfully took over Huanzhou.

……

At the same time, Cao Bin's troops also continued to advance vigorously, and the army quickly advanced to Zhuozhou.

In the eastern part of Zhuozhou, Cao Bin's troops fought another battle with the Khitan. Like the two above, Cao Bin won the battle for the same reasons.

Cao Bin's troops, who were pursuing the victory, began to attack the north gate of Zhuozhou, and the defenders of Zhuozhou abandoned the city and fled after a symbolic resistance.

Cao Bin's troops successfully captured Zhuozhou City.

And Mixin's troops, who cooperated with Cao Bin's troops to march towards Youzhou, also successfully captured Xincheng.

……

The good news on all fronts was frequent, and the entire Great Song Dynasty was excited. Zhao Guangyi asked the eunuch to read every good news over and over again every time he held a court meeting.

And the original anti-war faction at the bottom was somewhat overwhelmed at this time.

Occasionally, when someone questioned whether there was fraud so smoothly, they would immediately be mercilessly ridiculed and reprimanded by Zhao Guangyi. Gradually, these anti-war factions basically lost their voices.

……

The Flying Fox City here finally couldn't resist, and Ma Yun, the defender of the city, led the people to abandon the city and surrender. The Central Route Army finally captured the first city as well.

The current Song army can be said to be in full bloom, and all fronts are smoothly advancing.

……

"General, there is good news for General Mixin's troops again."

"General, Flying Fox City finally can't stand it anymore."

"General, General Cao Bin's troops are about to cross Zhuozhou and march further north."

News like this often comes during this time. Although the Zhenzhou army has not yet fought a big battle, it is still happy from the bottom of my heart to hear the victory of the Great Song Dynasty.

There was only one person, and every time he heard such news, he looked at the map, and then his brow furrowed even deeper.

That person was none other than Zhao Weiji. He now lives in fear every day, and every piece of good news beats Zhao Weiji's heart like a leather whip.

Because every good news is unusually consistent with history, that is to say, if this continues, the outcome of this battle will still be the same as history, and the Great Song Dynasty will be defeated and returned.

But no one can understand Zhao Weiji's heart, he can't tell anyone that he came through time, he knows history, although he is constantly winning now, but in the end the Great Song Dynasty will inevitably fail, and the failure is very miserable.

So every time good news came, Zhao Weiji had to face his subordinates with a smile and celebrate the hypocritical victories of the Song army with them.

"I must find a way, I can't sit here anymore, I have to find a way to do something, otherwise all the previous preparations will be in vain."

Just when Zhao Weiji was still struggling in his heart, the heralds from Flying Fox City arrived in the camp.

Tian Chongjin asked Zhao Weiji to lead the Zhenzhou soldiers to rise up and go to Flying Fox City to join the large army, and he Tian Chongjin also had something to discuss with Zhao Weiji.

Zhao Weiji's eyes couldn't help but light up when he heard the news? Discuss, is it to send his Zhenzhou soldiers to garrison Flying Fox City? If that's the case, it's going to be a great opportunity.

If he is stationed in Flying Fox City, he will be able to get rid of Tian Chongjin's constraints, and in this case, Zhao Weiji will be able to do a lot of things.

So with apprehension, Zhao Weiji led the Zhenzhou soldiers to set up camp and went to Flying Fox City.
